Saving Faith

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Randall Balmer is, all at once, one of our most discerning scholars about religion, one of the most passionate voices within his tradition, and one great storyteller. Saving Faith is both a gift and a challenge. Like Pope Francis, Balmer calls for a prophetic Christianity that "positions itself at the margins." Paradoxically, it is from the margins that faith can have its most transformative effect.”
